Asbestos is a mineral that was used in construction up until the 1980s in South West England and still exists in many properties today. ACMs can pose great health risks to the occupants of the building as well as those involved in the removal process. Asbestos fibers when inhaled can cause several respiratory diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer and pleural thickening.

It is essential that asbestos removal is carried out by a licensed and experienced asbestos removal company to avoid any risks associated with the removal process. Asbestos removal companies will use highly advanced equipment and specialist techniques which protect the property occupants and their environment from asbestos fibres.
